The Pre-Assembly Packet (formerly called the 2nd mailing) is available for download at the links below.
At Synod Assembly 2010, we’re implementing Green Philosophy by not duplicating all of the reports and pre-assembly information packets. The amount of paper and resources saved will be used in other missional directions.
Therefore, please download and study these reports online. Print what you need, and join in saving resources for greater missional use.

|
The 1991 Florida-Bahamas Synod Assembly, Resolution 91-7, directed the Travel Equalization Plan. It mandates the sharing of travel costs by all congregations to equalize costs for all attendees.
Each congregation is assessed a proportionate share for the total cost. In return, each Florida congregation that has paid its assessment applies for a travel reimbursement amount at the same rate for miles actually traveled. As a result, congregations at a distance farther than the average distance would receive more in return than the original assessment. Congregations at a distance less than the average would receive reimbursement funds less than the assessment amount.
Each congregation is being assessed $40.00. Each congregation will have the opportunity to request a travel refund of $.14 per mile. The rate will apply whether the congregation delegation chooses to drive or to take other transportation. Reimbursement will be at $.18 per mile if sufficient funds are in the equalization pool. The mileage reimbursement rate will be adjusted downward if necessary.
Vouchers will be honored through June 30, 2010.
Larger congregations entitled to more than four voting members at the Assembly may require more than one vehicle and would apply for the second vehicle at the same rate with four persons per automobile as the standard.
